Like Ruby 'exec' but for Node.js?

Question

I'm looking for a command like Ruby's kernel 'exec' but for Node.js. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

I took the advice of @phs and built a native Node.js module. A bit of details can be found here. Github source here.

You can use it like so:

npm install kexec

var kexec = require('kexec');
kexec("your_process with args here");
